Join Feast on Thursday for a night of Japanese-inspired food and martinis. For this special dinner, Feast will be serving a four-course set menu paired perfectly with gin-martinis. To top it off, award-winning guest bartender Andrea Benvegna from The Connaught Bar in London will be doing the pouring (and pairing). Seating is limited, so call Feast at +10 8414 9820 to make reservations.

Thurs June 2, 7-10pm; RMB258. Feast, see event listing for details. 

June 4: The Ming and the Manchus: A Walk and Discussion at the Forbidden City

201605/Manchus-2016-6-11.jpgIf you’re itching to learn a little bit more about this city’s history, head out on an educational walk dedicated to the Chinese imperial history of the Forbidden City. Newly-opened areas will also be discussed. This offbeat tour combines Forbidden City factoids with stories, pop-culture references and concrete examples. Due to limited space you’ll need to book in advance by clicking here

Sat June 4, 9am-noon; RMB300, RMB260 for members (includes all entrance tickets). The Forbidden City, see event listing for details.

June 5: Dive In Part II

Dive in (again) to Beijing’s ultimate pool party. Modo, Moka Bros, Mosto, Migas Restaurant and The Bar at Migas are combining forces to make this year’s event better than ever. We don’t know where the party will be held because partygoers are set to be whisked away to a secret locale. Expect lots of food, drinks and music. Tickets are currently on sale at the Sanlitun Moka Bros.

Sun June 5, 10.15am-7pm; RMB 680 (all-inclusive). See event listing for details. 

June 5: CHEERS Scavenger Hunt
